Coffee
A Cultivated Plant
Coffee has become the second most important commodity on the world market after crude oil, and it enjoys tremendous popularity around the globe.

The long, laborious journey from the harvest of the ripe coffee cherry to the prepared cup is illustrated. The economically weakest link in this chain are the coffee farmers. There are several organisations acting on a worldwide scale that try to realise adequate prices for the coffee farmers and promote incentives for development by means of fair trade.s is described.

Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century.
